Self Doubt

Another year is coming to a close.  As you look back at this year, do you wish you wrote more, publish more and then do you feel terrible and hate yourself because you are a lousy writer?

Welcome to my world.

I have self doubt every day. 

I can write as least 3,000 words a day.  That is the easy part.  The hard part is to take those words and rewrite them so they are publishable.  I can write rough drafts of stories day in and day out, but what does that mean, if I can not rewrite and make those words publishable.

This here lies my problem.

I can write anywhere.  In bed, on the bathroom floor, at my desk and even in front of the TV, but then when it comes to re-writing and editting, my Self-Doubt rises up and takes over.  Then it is game over.

I know that we all have Self-Doubt.  There is no getting around it.  So how does one deal with Delf-Doubt?

Keep Writing.

When I am on Facebook in the writing Facebook groups, people post how many words they wrote in a day, week or month. They post a screen shot of the end of their story The End.

I am thrilled for them, then I think, why am I on Facebook and scrolling and not writing????

There is no cure for Self Doubt.

I know you have heard this before, but all you have to do is WRITE!

That is easier said than done.  We all have busy lives, but somehow, somewhere people are writing and publishing everyday on Amazon.  Are You?  Why Not?

That is the question you have to ask yourself. 

What is stopping you from Writing & Publishing your Books????

As this year ends, I always look toward January because I have plans for the new year.  I have goals for the new year and then my March, I am like on a tread mill.  I am moving and going nowhere.

The year 2020 is going to be different.

I am going to write, edit and publish my books.

What about you.  What are you going to do in 2020.

Leave a comment.  Let's get Published together in 2020

'Sure there will be Self-Doubt, be we are going to keep writing and silence that nasty Self-Doubt

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
